A rhythm and an essence of this work is the one of insight, a perspective of human truth. This understanding and awareness is expressed through artistic, creative, energetic form. Through our intuition and allowance we are invited to share in this inspirational experience. UNDERCURRENT OF LIFE STREAM In Buddhist psychology the process of the changing mind is manifested in two levels or streams. The subconscious stream 'Bhavanga Citta' and the Conscious stream 'Vithi citta' Each one merges into the other. The subconscious stream Is the hidden repository of all the impressions and memories of thoughts that pass through the conscious mind; All experiences and tendencies are stored up there, but they exert an influence over the conscious mind without it being aware of the source of this influence. These two streams of mind being conditioned by each other. The state of the active conscious mind and awareness is generally present during the day when one is awake. It is conscious of all impacts and impressions continually received from outside, through the five senses or of sensations received from within by way of ideas or thoughts or recollections of former thoughts. When this conscious stream which is constantly receiving sensation from within or without subsides into inactivity, as for instance during sleep, the other stream the subconscious (Bhavanga Citta) manifests ~ flowing like an undisturbed stream so long as the conscious stream does not arise to disturb it through the sense channels. When awake every time an arisen thought of the conscious mind subsides and before the next thought can arise within that infinitesimally minute fraction of time, the subconscious stream intervenes. Then when the next thought of the conscious mind level arises the subconscious stream subsides into inactivity. Since innumerable thoughts arise and fall one after another during the day, so then are there innumerable momentary interruptions to the flow of the subconscious stream during the day. The subconscious is referred to as a state of subliminal activity viz. an activity that takes place below the threshold of the conscious mind, an activity of which therefore there is no awareness on the conscious mind. The conscious stream holds only one thought or idea at a time whereas the subconscious stream holds all the impressions of all the thoughts ideas and experiences that enter and leave the conscious mind. This subconscious life stream allows us to have a memory, conditioning our thinking & action. The Bhavanga is the 'bhava'(existence) 'anga' (factor).'Bhavanga Citta' is the indispensable factor or basis of existence. The factor of life by means of which the flow of existence or being is maintained without a break. The continuing basis or undercurrent of life, the stream of existence keeping life going. This stream of being is an indispensable condition of individual life. It is comparable to the current of a river when it flows calmly on, unhindered by any obstacle, and when that current is opposed by any thought from the world within or perturbed by tributary streams of the senses from the world without then thoughts in the conscious mind stream arise. There is a juxtaposition of momentary states of consciousness subliminal and supra ~ subliminal throughout a lifetime. 'Rebirth Explained' by V. Gunaratna.
